I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

I grew up in the north of Chile, and this is why there are a lot of religious symbols in my pictures, because the Catholic Church in Latin America is very strong. If I was born in Japan, I would speak about Buddhism, but I was born in South America.

For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.

I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.

The planet is ill, everyone knows that. But I need to be optimistic, otherwise I would just be adding to the negativity. So every night I come on Madrid TV and read a piece of good news.

I was raping Frank Herbert, but with love.

Maybe if literature was prohibited the same way as cocaine, people out of pure curiosity would try to get a couple of lines
